REVIEW

Stanley loves the moon and dreams of going there one day. With encouragement from his father, he starts looking for ways to get there. Unfortunately, his plans keep failing and those he goes to for help don't really help much. But Stanley refuses to give up. The sweet illustrations add a nice touch to this darling story about the power of persistence and following your dreams. The soft pastel colors create a dream like atmosphere that makes the story more believable than it would be otherwise. Stanley is an adorable sock monster and the moon looks nice and friendly. Overall, a nice read that works as both an inspirational story and a story about solving problems.
